They would still be really good in the first downs stat (but not the best). A 44th/49th ratio is actually pretty good.

That's exactly how statistics work.  A player with more Targets should hypothetically produce more cumulative stats than a player with less targets.  

To your example, Michael Thomas leads the league in Targets and also leads the league in Receptions, Receiving Yards, and 1st Downs.  We're also not talking about a player putting up anywhere close to Top 5 numbers.

It would also be different if he met or exceeded the expected production in other cumulative stats, but Tate has literally produced below his Targets in every cumulative statistical category.
